Indeed, the invasion of Iraq in 2003 destabilized the region, leading to conditions that allowed ISIS to grow. For example, the dissolution of the Iraqi army left many skilled military personnel unemployed, and some of them eventually joined the ranks of ISIS. Do you think that a different approach, such as diplomacy or economic sanctions, could have been more effective in addressing the issue back then?
